[Scan-DC] Long Distance VHF Skip

[Rapbep at aol.com]

All,

At 1918 EDT, in the middle of some severe summer wx (heavy rain, electrical, 
etc) for about 30 seconds I was hearing Sky Harbor Airport controller/ATIS on 
119.275. The skip came in just at the end of a burst of heavy rain and stopped 
as soon as the rain had passed.  The only Sky Harbor Airport I could find is 
in Phoenix AZ. 

Perhpas some of the southwest listeners can confirm that this freq is used at 
Sky Harbor.

Around here 119.275 is the VHF side of Bay Watch Control for Patuxent River 
NAS.
